Hi all,
This will actually be my last entry, although I had thought my previous one was, when I wrote, "It's a good idea not to abandon the journals I've been keeping since elementary school." I think I'll end it here:
Tomorrow will be two years since she passed away, and I really miss her. I still remember the hours before my grandma passed away, when Tiff, and I were playing with Maria, and then the horrible news from my Aunt, and we all burst into tears... Can it be true? Can this strong woman, who had been battling diebetes for so many years actually give up on her life? Is she really gone?? Will I ever see her again?? Her funeral came the first day of class (and I had to miss the first day). While every one was returning to school, all refreshed from their summer break, my family was dressed in black mourning our loss... We didn't go back to school refreshed, but more stressed... But we all made it through. We all survived, although she was gone. Life goes on. Although now I don't think of her as much as I originally did, I still do think of her (as can be seen on the site I abandoned in April). She'll always be a part of us because she remains in our memories.
I want you guys to remember that we all lose the people we love, and we all have to face it eventually. Cherish the moments you have with them, and never forget them. I guess I still have to learn to live every day as if it was my last. Perhaps things do happen for a good reason. Don't forget the people you've met because they become a part of who you are.... Spend as much time as you can with them, even family. Smile and be happy (I should learn to follow my own advice too). Don't let the sun set on your angers, because you'll never know what'll happen tomorrow...
I want you all to know that I'm so grateful I've met you all. You've all helped me through so many tough times... And it's especially great to catch up with people you haven't seen for so many years, cuz you realized how much you've missed, and why you enjoyed their company in the first place.
And now I'll return to my personal journals and leave you guys on xanga. I'll still comment your entries though. See you all around.
Take care,
San
P.S. Patience is a virtue.
I got this from Angeline:
The following was written by Audrey Hepburn, who was asked to share beauty tips:
1. For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
2. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
3. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
4. For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her finger through it once a day.
5. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
6. People, even more than things, have to be restored, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
7. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find them at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
8. The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes, because she is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
9. The beauty of a woman is not in the facial mode, but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows.
10. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years. | | |
